What's important to you? Have you ever really thought about it?
Money? What's the point having all the money in the world when you have no health and no family & friends around you? Some may say, money can buy the best doctors and specialists in the world. So can they guarantee a 100% cure for ALL kinds of sicknesses? Some also may say, money will automatically gather friends around you. Are they REALLY your friends or friends of your money?
Career? What's the point being on top of the corporate ladder when all your time is spent making sure you stay there or finding ways to climb even higher? What about quality time with your family and friends? Is your family happier knowing that you are someone important in a big company or will they be happier having you around spending quality time with them?
Power? What's the point being powerful when people around you only fear and despise you? Do you gain power by stepping on others around you or is that power entrusted by people around you out of respect and honour? If comes a day when you've lost that power, will people around celebrate your downfall or will they pick you up and encourage you to stand up again?
I've been told by a certain someone that if I want to be successful in my career, I need to give my best even if it means burning the midnight oil and sacrificing personal time. Yes, I may gain career points but at the same time, I'm also losing family and health points. Is it worth it?
If you ask me, I'm willing to sacrifice all just for my loved ones, be it my family or even friends. They are indeed the most important thing in my life. Without them, there's no life. What's the point being rich, successful and powerful when you have no family and friends around you?
So think about... What's important to you?
